The corneal stroma plays several pivotal roles within the eye. Optically, it is the main
refracting lens and thus has to combine almost perfect transmission of visible light with …

Keratoconus (KC) is a common degenerative condition that frequently results in visual loss
with an onset typically in early adulthood. It is the single most common reason for …

The pre-Descemet's layer/Dua's layer, also termed the Dua-Fine layer and the pre-posterior
limiting lamina layer, lies anterior to the Descemet's membrane in the cornea, is 10 μm …

The study of corneal biomechanics is motivated by the tight relationship between
biomechanical properties and visual function within the ocular system. For instance …

Recent studies have shown that alterations in corneal biomechanical properties are
associated with corneal pathologies, particularly corneal ectasia. Moreover, these …

Keratoconus (KCN) is an ectatic disorder with progressive corneal thinning and a clinical
picture of corneal protrusion, progressive irregular astigmatism, corneal fibrosis and visual …

The ability to clearly observe one's environment in the visible spectrum provides a
tremendous evolutionary advantage in most of the world's habitats. The complex optical …

Many tissues in vivo exhibit structural anisotropy, which endows them with orientation-
specific properties and functions. Structurally anisotropic hydrogels have emerged as …

Purpose To theoretically compare the corneal stress distribution of laser in situ
keratomileusis (LASIK) with the stress distribution of small-incision lenticule extraction …

Purpose.: To characterize and quantify the collagen fiber (lamellar) organization of human
corneas in three dimensions by using nonlinear optical high-resolution macroscopy (NLO …
